JoeyJourney Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi everyone So the journey has started shacking and bouncing at stop signs and lights really at low speeds and idle. Sometimes its gets so bad that i theeth shatter together. When its gets that bad the check engine comes on and flashes but after its done flashing the check engine is off (has happend 3 times in the last 3 weeks). I scaned it at a friends and there is no code So i brought it to a dealer and they have told me that i dont have any check engine and no codes that tell will have to charge me for everything if its not coverd by the power train warrenty Has anyone else had this kinda problem Any help would helps tons Thanks in advance 2011 Dodge Journey Crew 3.6 82000km dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) It's misfiring. When was your last tuneup? Could you duplicate it for the dealer? Welcome to the forum. Edited June 2, 2016 by jkeaton dhh3 and Sean Albin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camper Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 When it start shake, check the RPM, my 2012 did shake a bit, at the stop, When it start shake, the RPM goes below 500. However, at this time AC , or Heather is running. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyJourney Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Yes the rpm's do drop win it starts shacking a lot I have not used the A/C at all yet (tried it once to make sure it works) After reading on the net on on this forum, it seems to be ether left head cyclinder or something to do with the cam phaser The garage wont do anything tell i get a check engine and i know theres a problem I dont know what to do from there I know they need to do a comprision test for the head but is it the same test for the cam phaser? If so i would pay to get the test done so i know they will find something. i dont want to pay for the test and it has nothing to do with the problem Im also sorry for the bad English (french guy from Montréal Edited June 3, 2016 by JoeyJourney dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 There is a recall/TSB for one of the cylinder heads on the Pentastar, but I'm not sure of the model years that are included. Something to look into. It was fixed by 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eweaver915 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 If the light flashed you should have pending codes in the pcm, even if the light is no longer on. Thats how CANbus works. dhh3 and Journey_SeXT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
